lyrics

MARTA

We have grown alone
But you must know that with a whisper and a spark
We’ll cut the night and foil the dark
And we will ever

Prosper, Marta… Marta hear
Prosper, Marta… Marta hear

We are cherry cakes
That no one eats and… left to linger on a plate
Not sweet at all, more than our fill
And we will never

Prosper, Marta… Marta hear
Prosper, Marta… Marta hear

Evanescent lightning, short-lived, fleeting

This, your finest day
Shall come to pass… it will rise and fall away
It’s just a shell, despite the cost
And will we ever

Prosper, Marta… Marta hear
